ANNA ROUTH ANNA 10 HOME DESIGN & DECOR TRIANGLE | DECEMBER 2019 from the editor reetings from maternity leave. Three children under the age of three has proven more challenging than I could have ever imagined, so please excuse any errors you may find! While I am fully immersed in postpartum bliss, including diapers, bottles, and pumping on a revolving track, we have another beautiful issue to present—our Great Gatherings Issue—a celebration of coming together with friends and family. G This issue is all about repurposing and reusing to create beautiful and comfortable spaces for families to gather together during every season of their lives. Known for creating comfortable, functional, and sophisticated homes for families with children, designer Lauren Hood was tasked with updating her friends’ Hayes Barton home so that it would be more livable for their growing family. Hood employed a bold, bright color palette that not only freshened up the once outmoded home but also tailored it to the homeowners’ personalities (page 40). Designer Kristin Tharpe’s clients’ dark, dated home was in serious need of an uplift. And though Tharpe faced some resistance from her clients at first, they eventually came to see that Tharpe’s classic designs would easily transform the home into a space that was not only elegant but would accommodate their family for years to come (page 52). Similarly, designer Anne Wagoner was enlisted by her clients to create a space where the couple could gather together with the many groups they enjoy having in their home, including their friends and family (page 64). When it comes to entertaining, interior designer Debra Zinn and colleague Laura Montross know exactly how to pile on the festive feeling—without going overboard. The designers’ sophisticated and classic touch to holiday entertaining and decorating is displayed in this issue (page 22). And who better to ask about the best gifts than designers who scour local stores and vendors for the perfect piece to complete a client’s home? We tasked five local designers with choosing gifts and putting their own personal touches on them with gift wrap. The result is a gift guide that you do not want to miss (page 18). Finally, designer Kara Cox brings us the biggest trend coming out of October’s High Point Market. Cox was one of eight international style spotters selected by High Point Authority as a market ambassador and trend forecaster. Her takeaway: furniture as art is the trend to watch. From sculptural shapes in upholstery to stylish statement hardware, art is clearly influencing how furniture makers are designing today (page 30). Despite the sleep deprivation and nonstop toddler corralling, I’m trying to remind myself that these days are fleeting and to hold onto them as tightly as possible. I wish you and yours a joyous holiday season and a very Merry Christmas filled with precious moments that will transform into cherished memories you’ll look back on for years to come. Cheers!
